NY Times: Bookstores Reported Receiving Bulk Orders for Mitt Romney's New Book
conservatives4palin ^ | FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2010 | Iceland's Finest

Posted on 03/12/2010 5:22:21 PM PST by curth

Romney fans, please don't shoot the messenger.

Mitt Romney's book has debuted at #1 atop the NY Times best-seller list among non-fiction hardcover books. However, the NY Times also provides some additional information that may explain how Romney's book hit the #1 spot.

Whenever the NY Times places a "dagger" symbol next to a book, it signifies that "some bookstores report[ed] receiving bulk orders" for the book.

The NY Times placed not just one, but two, daggers next to Romney's book. You can draw your own conclusion as to who it was that purchased Governor Romney's book in bulk.

By contrast, the NY Times failed to place the "dagger" symbol next to Governor Palin's book in any of the weeks she held the top position on the NY Times best-seller list among non-fiction hardcover books. Despite the left's unsubstantiated theories, bookstores did not report to the NY Times that they received bulk orders for Going Rogue. See week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4, week 5, and week 6. As you can see, in none of these weeks is there a dagger symbol next to her book.

Once again, I'm just reporting what I found from the NY Times. Don't shoot the messenger.

I’m not a teenage girl that is here to learn your cutesy symbols...

And yet, you're behaving like one. Preening and pretending not to know.

The MSM targets the candidates after the primaries.
The MSM targets the conservatives before the primaries.

Mitt RomneyCARE: “Just buy my book
and ignore what we have done.
Now go back to your bananas.”

Alex Beam: “In truth, Ronald Reagan
and Mitt Romney have as much in common
as Cardinal O’Malley and Conan O’Brien.
Deservedly or not, Reagan earned a reputation for constancy.
Once he turned against communism, he opposed it big-time.
…. And our former governor? Inconstancy, thy name is Mitt!
A woman’s right to choose? Yes! No! Yes!
Are we in Massachusetts? Yes! Are we in Iowa? No!
Are we on TV? Whatever!”

How is it that you are willing to make all these posts but wouldn’t just answer post 39, you seem to have something that you want to share about Mitt Romney but you seem afraid to let it out. Open up, speak.

Your Romney trolling is not very good, I will say that for you. This isn’t your first run around the bases is it?

Yup. Slick Willard reminds me of the lizard people from “V”, they all have purty exteriors masking their true identity.

Are you unable to understand? Open your eyes that you may see, and your ears that you may hear.

It means that there are bulk sales, which means they might not be indicative of actual interest. That’s why they put the mark there. However, it doesn’t mean the book isn’t selling, it just means we have to watch over time to see what happens.

On the other hand, according to a typical report, “He reportedly attracted more than 1,000 people to a book signing in Naples, Fla. last night.”.

Doesn’t mean the book is popular, but unless Romney has learned how to clone people, it does appear that a few people are interested enough to show up to buy the book.

If the game here was more than t-ball in form and substance, I'm probably try to hit a few. As it is, mostly a bench warmer.

Mitt RomneyCARE (D, Carpetbagger): “I Was For The Bailout ....
Before I Was Against It”

“Romney praises Obama
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney praised President Obama
at a GOP fundraising dinner Wednesday ..
"I also think it's important for us to nod to the president when he's right," Romney said....
Romney, who spoke at a dinner for the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
said he's pleased with the president's plans to "finish the job" in Iraq and Afghanistan
-- lines that drew applause from the partisan audience. He also applauded the president
for standing up to the auto industry.
"I hope he continues to be tough ....The former businessman even offered faint praise for
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, saying that after a series of initial missteps,
"I think he's finally getting close to the right answer."

Where can you find the list of number of books sold? I’ve seen it reported, but never been able to find the numbers online.

Time will tell. Like I said before, if one wants to compare apples to apples, you’ll need to wait a month.

But as I understand it, the books are very different. I haven’t read either yet, but Palins is supposed to me more biographical, where Romneys is more platform/policy oriented. I suspect they will be some crossover appeal for both, but they are different. TIme will tell.

What I was asking was what was your previous sign up name?

Something that you have made clear during your short time here, is how much you dislike freerepublic and freepers, you started with that from almost your very first post.

This is a forum for conservatives, not Romney wankers.

“If there is anyone here who doesn’t understand why we cannot support a slick socialist politician like Mitt Romney, God help you, but you’re on the wrong website. We went through this with the abortionist, gay rights activist, illegal alien supporting, gun grabbing Rudy Giuliani until someone created another website call WAnkers for Rudy and they all flew the coop. Hopefully, before too much FReeper blood is shed, someone will create a WAnkers for Romney site and we can be left to fight the good fight as we see fit!
FR is not for everyone!

Gov. Palin's book is heartfelt and written well.

Romney's book was written by his ghostwriter.
Had to do that because Romney had previously taken the other side of the issues.

How Romney is THAT?

FACTOID OF THE DAY:

As Gov of Massachusetts, Romney managed to raise taxes on New Hampshire residents.

How Romney is that?

That’s a smiley face (turn your head sideways and you will see the eyes and the mouth. More common use includes a dot.

In high-tech medium, the characters are translated into actual smiley-face symbols.

:), :-) — Smiles
:<, :-( — Sad
:-O — Surprise
